Concept of Sustainability in the Arctic

Abstract

The current stage of the development of the Arctic region of Russia coincided with the development and implementation of the ideas of sustainability: the identification of mechanisms and risk management, the ability to withstand future climate change through reorganization and upgrading. Under the new development conditions, we propose a model of the architectural and spatial organization of an environmental object of any level (building, settlement, city) that takes into account the specific region constraints. The authors suggest using a parcel with a set of patterns as the basic unit of the planning level. The patterns within this level are connected. Outside, the levels of the parcels are linked to each other and the natural surroundings. At the building level, engineering systems and their resilience are identified. At the level of external relations, environmental systems are identified - manifestations of the environment with possible aggressive impacts. Their resilience lies in their reaction to change. Engineering systems shall interact with social ones: when designing, the social responsibility of investors should be considered to provide the autonomy of each parcel, and after construction, it is necessary to define the responsibilities of all users. The system of parcel patterns is flexible, stable, and ready for probabilistic aggressive impacts of the outside world.
